Hi @mpbraendle,
There’s an old issue open about this already: Change database tables schema for Clustering · Issue #3573 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub
Starting with OJS 3.3 we’re using a new toolset (Laravel’s) to manage our database schema, so it might be a good time to revisit that issue. Please feel free to drop your feedback onto the end of that discussion, and I’ll update it with the latest progress on our side.
Thanks,
Alec Smecher
